Description
This Collection will cover all the various SSF faction mods I have created from different Special Operation Forces, Commando/ Elite regiments or INDEP / OPFOR groups across the globe and throughout different time periods. This does NOT include my Overhauls, or replacement packs, for various base game factions, those are a separate collection.

The factions are prefixed with some of their requirements, such as SMA, NIA, CUP, RHS, but be sure to visit and read the specific faction pages for more details about each faction, their equipment, organisation, ALiVE classnames and any other additional information needed.

Most of the factions have similar core dependencies so it's easier to have multiple factions at the same time, and will all work together with full Editor, Zeus, MCC, ACE3, TFAR and TFAR Beta Radio, ACRE Radio, VCOM AI, LAMBS AI and ALiVE support.

Discussion page and updates/ WIP logs will be posted here before they hit the Workshop.

Permissions-
All SFF factions will be available on Workshop, as well as other download locations like Armaholic, PW6 or Arma3.De to make it easier for you to download and use them. Feel free to use the various factions however you like, but if you are using them publicly use the official version on the Workshop.
